SmartBuilder v3 or v4?

The SmartBuilder version 4 Documentation and Video Tutorials can be found in the Help menu in the tool, or view the v4 Help site.

Here you can set your preferences, including loaders and defaults when creating new lessons.

To specify a Graphic Loader:

Click on Preferences in your Home Tree.

Click on the Graphic Loading Message dropdown.

Choose Custom.

Click on the Custom symbol button.

In the Media Select window, find the graphic that you wish to use. Make sure that it is a small file since it will be preloaded.

Click Select.

Click Apply at bottom of the Preferences panel to save your changes.

To specify a Lesson Loader:

Note: If you are looking to create your own loader, please contact us. We will be happy to supply you with a template.

Another Note: After changing the loader, you will need to republish your lesson to see the new one. The Loader is tied to the account, so all future published lessons will use this Loader (unless/until you switch to a different Custom Loader, or back to the Default).

Click on Preferences in your Home Tree.

Click on the Lesson Loading Message dropdown.

Choose Custom.

Click on the Custom symbol button.

In the Media Select window, find the animation that you wish to use.

Click Select.

Click Apply at bottom of the Preferences panel to save your changes.

To set the defaults for the Grid:

Click on Preferences in your Home Tree.

Set or clear the Show Grid checkbox.

Set or clear the Snap to Grid checkbox.

Click Apply at bottom of the Preferences panel to save your changes.

To set the selection marquee rule:

Click on Preferences in your Home Tree.

Choose the Selection Marque Rule radiobutton that you wish to use, either intersecting or enclosed.
